Crunch 2005 in full.

Slammiversary is currently on Sky Anytime if anyone is interested.

Rampage is apparently going straight into the wrassling training. Sure he has loads to learn but he's no skinny 18 year old, It won't take him too long to get grips with the game. After all he is a big fan. If they put him in the ring with Angle at BFG in some sort of submission kind of match I'll be watching. It's taken King Mo so long because he got badly injured.

Surprised that the Rampage segment is getting praise on here. I watched it with a mate and we were pissing ourselves at his facial expressions.

Rampage Jackson signing with TNA is the most out of the blue signing I've ever come across. Big news for TNA though.King Mo vs. Rampage Jackson in a fixed fight anyone? haha

That last picture is a tad unfair, It's clearly full in that section on TV.

What's that got to do with anything? Looking full isn't the issue. Its the till looking full thats the issue. Its super expensive to go on the road. They should scale down the venues or tape more episodes on a night, because renting a large arena and promoting the shows locally is pretty crippling for little return at the box office.

If it looks good on TV and I'm enjoying the product. I'm a happy guy

That last picture is a tad unfair, It's clearly full in that section on TV.

T.J Perkins is playing the role of Suicide this time around.

Looked great in the role too, faultless. Makes sense now you've said it.

Mark Henry proving he's the man.

 

Whos that?

Ryback!

Fight Network at Axxess finds Brock Lesnar fan and gives tickets away to this kid for Wrestlemania, 'mom' is clearly gutted haha

I don't mind Dutt. Petey I was excited about for his return but apart from his finish, he's shown nothing for me this time around. He seems bland and a bit shit.

I don't see why this could not had been 'experimented' with on a house show. I hope they don't use it again, put me off the match.

I think you're all forgetting her reign of terror as Smackdown GM. It's hours of unwatchable television.

Yeah but those days are long gone and aren't coming back. If she was to crop up on TV again, it would only be occasional appearances surely?

It was used at the Hall of Fame. That could just be it.

Coming off the end of Mania week I'm sure a lot of fans were either burnt out or this show just wasn't high on the priority list. Surely it'll be back to normal in the next, Impact's pretty good at the moment.

Yeah, I mean I've still not watched it and I've been watching it live since Lockdown. Just so burned out. Happens every year.

Woah, this is incredible.

Super cant wait to see how he's booked on RAW.

Bob Backlund has taken a leaf out of Virgil's (probably overpriced) playbook, and is currently selling signed pictures/photos outside of Metlife Stadium

 

 

Sad to see really, I mean I don't blame him trying to make a bit extra money on a busy day like this but it really screams small time seeing a former World Champion like that.

 

That's my elbow on the right of the pic, as I was taking the picture of my mate who was talking to Backlund at the time. We just stumbled across him while having a wander around the stadium before it opened.

Best thing is I saw Bob get asked for a ticket, the dressing room was right by our section. Poor sod.

Can't wait to see those "Did you Know!?" adverts on RAW next week.

This is insane, I hope it makes #1 by the weekend!

Mark is getti g a title shot at the show before. Jay is injured and has been pulled from that show but is still booked for his title match at the ippv.

 

There's a chance that the title match won't be the main event as they've said they're planning a SCUM vs ROH tag match but it hasn't been announced yet

As a non-follower fan, is this a good thing?

I've got tickets for this, mainly being it was the Ballroom. But other events are interesting me now. I just can't seem to make a decision.

I read it was Mark as Jay got injured.

Still a shit main event for a sold out show at the Hammerstein.

Quite clever that.

 

Very clever. Although now it makes me think the photographer is also part of Aces & 8's.

Who's on the very left next to Wes? :s

I'll say it again.... what's a Gunvor?

What's a Gunvor?

This is not exactly TNA related but it kind of is so I'm putting it here. Remember that Mexico promotion that wanted to book Hogan for a match in Monterrey? Well, they couldn't get Hogan so they thought they'd do the next best thing and make their own version of Aces & Eights instead. Ha! I present to you, Los Legendarios:

 

Before we know it there will be a UK tribute Aces and Eights, the frontman being The Gunvor.
